Hi all,
Looking forward to hosting the panel with Carla Gannis and Alan Sondheim
tonight.http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/event/artist-talks-carla-gannis-and-alan-sondheim
It will be great to meet some of the Netbehaviour list members, I know some of
you will be coming along. The list also, has been growing with many new
subscribers. So it would be nice to meet soem you ;-)
Carla Gannis and Alan Sondheim will be talking about their artwork featured in
the new exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery, Children of Prometheus
http://bit.ly/2ryXTJ1
"In the exhibition Carla Gannis updates Hieronymus Bosch’s famous triptych in
her Garden of Emoji Delights replacing medieval religious symbolism with an
emotion-inspired iconography for the 21st century. Bosch’s painting was made
between 1490 and 1510. In the original, the left panel depicts God presenting
Eve to Adam, the central panel is a broad panorama of socially engaged nude
figures, fantastical animals, oversized fruit and hybrid stone formations. The
right panel is a hellscape and portrays the torments of damnation. Gannis's
contemporary version plays on the original themes, and even expresses hedonism.
However, there is another message looming in the work. That, even though we are
entwined today in our digital networks, products of hyper-capitalism, and
technological devices, learned culture, and acquired values: we are all feral
beings at our core."
Wishing you well.
